Oakland Raiders ( 0-1) @ Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)
Opener: Chiefs by 4.5 (O/U 41)
Current Line: Chiefs by 3 (O/U 38)
Consensus: 71% on Raiders/94% on the Over
Future Line: Expect this line to continue to sink. This line may get as low as Chiefs -1.5 (already -2.5 at 5 Dimes). O/U could go as low as 37.
Injuries:
QB Jamarcus Russell probable (knee)
HB Justin Fargas probable (hamstring)
OT Khalif Barnes questionable (ankle)
WR Javon Walker questionable (knee)
WR Jonnie Lee Higgins questionable (sternum)
-----------
QB Matt Cassel questionable (knee)
CB Brandon Flowers questionable (shoulder)
Notes:
-Matt Cassel appeared healthy for the first time Wednesday. He ran full speed and was not limping at all as he did last week in practice. The Chiefs want to protect who they beleive is their QB of the future and will not play him until he is 100%. Wait and see on this guy, we should know in the next few days whether he will be a go or not. At this point it is about 60/40 that he plays.
-WR Javon Walker is likely to be active Sunday. Jonnie Lee Higgins likely to sit this one out unless he gets much more healthy. Walker may have to return punts in Higgins place, something he has never done in his career. At this point it looks like Walker is a go and Higgins will be out a week.
More to come...
